I was born in 1977, Ankara, Turkey.
I try to compose and perform music.
Turkish Music is my main inspiration and I enjoy being in contact with other musicians from different cultures. I am self-taught in different fields of music such as Turkish, Jazz, Classical and Rock music.
I like playing fretless guitar, Oud, Cura, and teaching music is my passion.

I live and work in Wroclaw, Poland.
